What We Do:

Each animal that we evaluate will receive the following:

· A thorough case history

· Posture analysis

· Gait analysis

· Static and motion palpation

· Neurological evaluation

The information from the case history and examination are combined to form a working diagnosis for that patient. A decision is then made about adjustments, rehab or referral.

How will my horse respond?

Most animals accept both the exam and adjustment without signs of pain.

 Often times an area of tenderness or pain will elicit nervousness from the animal as expected. When a painful area is found, the practitioner will use the gentlest techniques possible to reduce pain before delivering an adjustment.

 In cases of acute or extreme pain, the doctor will often delay the complete adjustment until your horse can be relaxed.

Many animals will show immediate improvement, while some do not show the full effect of the adjustment for several days.

How many treatments will my animal need?

Acute conditions can often be solved in just a few visits, but it is always recommended that you have your horse reevaluated on a regular basis to maximize their performance potential.

 With chronic conditions, it takes longer to stabilize the animals normal joint function and nervous system due to the length of the condition. These animals will need to be seen more often.

 Often no outward signs occur to let owners know when a subluxation has occurred. Having your animal checked on a regular basis can ensure that subluxations are caught early and reduce the risk of further biomechanical changes.
